Welcome to our first round of discussions for ARPA Journal. This is a message-board style discussion open to all contributors and readers. We call this a debate because we hope to recognize diverse, contending approaches to applied research in architecture. We are dedicated to the idea that an open investigation of unique positions can lead to more nuanced approaches to each issue.

LABORATORY SERIES. No.16. Model Replica of Stanley Kubrick’s War Room from the Stanley Kubrick Retrospective at LACMA, 2012-13. Fortified within a concrete bunker, the War Room in Kubrick’s “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb” imagined cold war political strategy as a giant poker table around which world leaders gambled the fate of nuclear fallout.
